After learning how to safely ship meat, Salguero tested his new service, ButcherBox, with friends and family and began a Kickstarter campaign to fund his new entity, which would deliver 100 percent, grass-fed, hormone-free and antibiotic-free beef to customers' doors.

With an end date of Oct. 8, ButcherBox has already exceeded its goal of $25,000. To date, 803 backers have donated almost $150,000.

And in return, meat! Donations of $129 or more earn an exclusive ButcherBox kit.

"I really think we hit a nerve with the American consumer," Salguero said. He didn't expect the Kickstarter to be so successful, especially as quickly.

"There's a demand out there that people really want this type of product and don't know where to go to get it."

Salguero only expects ButcherBox to grow from here, with the goal of exposing as many people as possible to the concept of 100 percent grass-fed meat.

"I'm providing a service that is missing in the market," said Salguero.

ButcherBox currently works with a collective of farms raising cattle on pesticide-free grass, and hopes to soon expand to more farms and different animals, after vetting the animal-raising practices, of course.

"We're working with farmers who have done this for a while," Salguero said. "100 percent grass-fed is not as easy as letting your cattle continue to eat grass and call it a day, there are some practices behind it that help make a superior beef."
